Paladon: Nice concept. The DIS versions of this icon should be darker, lowering the contrast is no solution.
The cannon ball needs to be a bit darker as well, the ground should get a brown touch to define the goblin more. The goblin´s feet are looking weird since the toes are similar long without small spaces.
The colour of the background does not match with the concept, you should change that as well.

There´s some potential in here.

Is that a cannonball just going to squash something?

 

[Stanakin]

It's supposed to be a cannonball on top of a squashed goblin. (the things at the front are feet...)

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Ohh, i thought it was some kind of brown carrot in the ground

 

[Stanakin]

Lol, it does look like that, now you mentioned it.
I should probably redo them to have even a slight chance at approval, shouldn't I?

 

[Huinipachutli]

I like it!

Though the DISBTN seem to be wrong, you seem to have lowered contrast only and not brightness.

If you are using PSD, I would prefer you using the PSD Icon layer as it is really handy and is found in the link below.

That's going to hurt xD

Good idea!

Bash? This is more of an instant kill. I like it.

I updated it, but the preview still shows the old version, is this normal?

 

[ike_ike]

Wait just a tad, and refresh the page. Should have updated by then >_>

I rather like this icon.

Goblins are cute, and goblins being flattened are cuter. :3

Well, it's been updated now, I hope you like this one and thanks for all the kind comments, people.

Hold on dude! its not done yet!

You need to fix the contrast of teh Icon, it looks far to gray and blurry.

I also have tested these Icons in my BLP Tools, and -they dont show! (!!!). And when I convert them to TGA., I get a blank document. I didnt run into this problem when I tested your old version of this Icon.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong when saving/converting. I saved these as 32-bit BMP and converted them to .blp using warcraft III viewer. The first ones I saved to 24-bit BMP. Both went blurry after converting.

- Edit - Okay, I read a few tutorials and I now know that I should've saved them to 24-bits. I couldn't find whether I should save them as bmp, jpg or targa, though. Does that make any difference?

- Edit 2 - Ugh, I can't get rid of the blur. It's got increased contrast and it's 24-bit again, though.
